' Hr. Love outside vhis bill -says Shipman ' his , made his office worth nothing eith-; ' er to the manufacturers k or to the;, ' laborers; that the; state auditor . does no work either and - that one -man can do nothing as well as two. Nevertheless, the mill sympathiz ers who are not manufacturers themselves,, regret that a president . of a mill has undertaken to do this job. The manufacturers know that -there will be some sort of regulation , attempted. Shipman seeks to have a commission tor the s enforcement ; of the law that he .wishes passed. The secretary of he state board of health, the commissioner of . labor : an printing and the state superin tendent of public instruction would -be that body. Shipman cannot . see - -what objection could be ' raised to the scientist who speaks for health; the technician who represents edu cation, and the public servant who holds state position. They are the state tor the time being. '.But Mr., Love doesn't care for hlm.i. A ' , The manufacturers yesterday in- dorse the Bickett I child labor pro-. .. posal.

They are here, they are with hlm and - his proposal for the child is that he be kept In school.
